The European Society of Cardiac Radiology was founded in 1999 and is one of the youngest societies of the European Association of Radiology. The last decade of the 20th century showed turbulent CT and MRI developments in the field of Cardiac Radiology. These formed the true stimuli for the foundation of the society. It was already then decided that the orientation of the society should not be directed by imaging modalities. All different forms of diagnostic cardiac radiology should be harboured and presented in the educational and annual scientific meetings of the society in a broad European platform, at which all the European countries are represented. Furthermore, the ESCR should develop a structural interaction with all related medical cardiac disciplines and address topics at its meetings, which start with the clinical problem. All new developments in cardiovascular medicine have to be highlighted in continuous updates such as in pathology and chronology of cardiovascular disease, epidemiology of CAD, valve disease, risk stratification, acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmia's, congenital heart disease, disease of the aorta and large vessels, and heart failure.
